Thank you for this solution. This has had me stumped for a few days. I think I still have a few hairs left that didn't get pulled out.

I just got bit by this bug today, took me a while to figure out what was going on. I was using for precisely the reason that it lets you set a different label ("Edit Foo") from its value ("edit-"). My solution was this bit of javascript: function submitAndRedirect(submitButtonID, redirectCode) {         var submitButton = document.getElementById(submitButtonID);         var redirectElementID = "input_submit_redirect_" + submitButton.form.id;         if (document.getElementById(redirectElementID)) {                 document.getElementById(redirectElementID).value = redirectCode;         } else {                 element = document.createElement("input");                 element.name = "submit_redirect";                 element.id = redirectElementID;                 element.type = "hidden";                 element.value = redirectCode;                 submitButton.form.appendChild(element);         } } Then changed the code to: It creates a hidden form item that my server-side code can look for, and gives it the value 'edit-99'. I *would* add this to my list of items I'm praying Microsoft fixes in IE 7, but I don't think there's room left. It's already so big.
